So I guess this is confirmation for 9.21 to be released on December 13th:

"1–12 December: For December, the Top of the Tree special is going to be slightly different. For one, the special is half a month long, and we've picked the FV215b (183) to give you one last chance to add it to your collection. Remember, if you have this vehicle in your garage when the new update hits World of Tanks, you'll also get the new FV217 Badger for free!

I wonder if the credits chest will actually have a decent amount of credits, or if it will be a handful of +25% credit reserves like that special that was going to make us "as close to rich as possible".

New Year’s Event

This year again we will have the in-game event to celebrate the end of the year with all our players. For those who have played it last year, it will be similar, with some significant improvements we hope players will enjoy.

One big change is the fact that the entire garage will be customizable this year, with different styles and effects which can be applied to the snowman, the tree, the house…etc.

We also made some changes to the way the crafting system works and replaced the recipes with a machine that creates toys from the rewards obtained through the crates.

Marathons are bad because they take you away from your duties as a family member. During this time it should be a pleasure and to relax gaming(I know WoT might not be relaxing). This is a Sneak Peek. I hope the Christmas tree will come back. Cool concept.
